Interested to collaborate?
I'm currently looking for a motivated postdoc interested in developing a proposal for a postdoctoral scholarship from the Carl Trygger Foundation (see details: https://www.carltryggersstiftelse.se/this-is-the-carl-trygger-foundation). The research should focus on tracking strain-level eco-evolutionary changes during coalescence of aquatic bacterial communities. Feel free to contact me, if you are interested!
